The prompt

A hospital group in India is testing a day-surgery centre in Pune. Build the simple model: inputs, calculations, outputs and a check.

Inputs: 20 procedures a day, 300 working days a year, INR 60,000 revenue per procedure, variable costs (consumables, drugs, staff paid per case) of 60 percent of revenue, and fixed costs of INR 9.6 crore (96 million) a year. All figures are illustrative.

2. You open the candidate view: you see only the prompt, a timer and a notes box.

3. Speak the case out loud. Your partner shares data when you ask, then scores you with the rubric.
